Denmark is the latest European country to suspend arms exports to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Danish Foreign Ministry announced Thursday that it would not approve future weapons and military equipment exports to the country following the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and as the kingdom continues to play a role in the conflict in Yemen.
Denmark follows Germany, which had already indicated its intention to cut off weapons exports to Saudi in late October. “As far as weapons exports, which are already limited, are concerned, they cannot take place in the same fashion as they are now,” German Chancellor Angela Merkel explained at the time.
